The rivalry between these two clubs has both a historical and social background, so it is always a match of high tension.
Marseille is sixth with 52 points, while Nice is fifteenth with 29 and is still not sure of survival, as it is only four points ahead of Auxerre. The host is a clear favorite, and an efficient match is expected in which Marseille, supported by the home fans, will celebrate in the match with more than 2.5 goals.
A great opportunity for Le Havre, who are in fourteenth place with 30 points, to take a step towards safety. They will be visiting Metz, who are last in the table with only 15 points and almost without any hope of survival.
Le Havre are in poor form with four draws and one loss in their last five games, but Metz are even worse with two draws and three losses. Home advantage and greater motivation could be the deciding factors.
Lille, third in the table with 54 points, is visiting tenth-placed Paris FC, which has 38 points. Although Lille seem to be the favourites, this will not be an easy game.
Lille has four wins and one draw in the last five rounds, while Paris FC has three wins and two draws in the same period. An uncertain match is expected at the "Jean Bouin" stadium, but a more motivated Lille should win, probably by a minimum.
Toulouse, in eleventh place with 37 points, hosts Monaco, in seventh place with 50 points. Toulouse has no major ambitions in the championship, while Monaco still has a realistic chance of qualifying for one of the European competitions.
Toulouse has lost its last three Ligue 1 matches, while Monaco has slowed down a bit after a great run, only losing and drawing in the last two rounds.
Against such an opponent, Monaco has an ideal opportunity to return to winning ways.
The end of the round brings a meeting of teams that are in completely opposite rhythms. Espanyol have not won since December and in the second part of the season they have won only five points. Levante, although second to last, is in good shape and with a win could temporarily get out of the relegation zone. The host is in a deep crisis and could settle for a point.
Two attractive teams, but Celta has more motivation because they are fighting for their lives, while Villarreal is certainly among the top few. The guests have a hard time winning, but the host rarely plays without goals. A dynamic duel with many chances is expected.
The atmosphere in Sevilla is bad after another disappointing defeat against Levante. Although they are currently out of the relegation zone, any next game could change everything. Osasuna traditionally plays great at their El Sadar stadium and have almost secured survival. A close match is possible
With such a tight table, almost every match is a direct duel. Valencia and Girona are close to the 40-point mark and want to secure their place as soon as possible. Neither team is in the best form, and Valencia would leapfrog the Catalans if they win. A cautious approach is expected from both sides.
A real match for survival. Alaves is without a win for three rounds and is back in the relegation zone, so there is no room for error. Mallorca got out of the danger zone after the change of coach, with Demichelis winning 11 points in six matches. A tense match between two teams fighting for every point.
A very important match for the host in the fight to avoid play-out matches and to secure survival with a series of victories towards the end of the season.
The guests are carefree because they cannot mathematically reach the play-off position, so this match means absolutely nothing to them and they can play it completely unburdened and, I hope, above all, disinterested.
Hamilton won the last two matches of the season and thus returned to the race for survival, and the schedule of their competitors also works in their favor, so with a win in this match they can even equalize points with East Fife before the last round, which would be a great success, they only have to win and I expect them to go all or nothing.
